"And you're the one convinced that I'm not ok" said fletch smiling
Tess smiled back and took another sip of the tea
"Tess are you ok?" said fletch after a minute of silence
"Yes of Couse I am" said Tess
"but I know that there is something that you are not telling me and I will find out sooner rather than later" said fletch raising his eyebrows
Tess laughed and then looked at fletch
"You are just copying my lines now" she said
Fletch smiled and zoe entered, fletch noticed that Tess shuffled down the sofa a bit as if it wasn't they weren't allowed to be close, zoe smiled and sat between them not realising that they had been talking.
"You 2 ok" said Zoe
"I was just asking fletch if he was ok" said Tess
"And I was just asking Tess I she was ok" said fletch smiling at Tess
"So there is something wrong with both of your" said Zoe looking between Tess and fletch
Zoe knew what was up with them but wouldn't dare tell fletch that Tess is still in love with him and she wouldn't dare tell Tess that fletch still wanted her.
"What?" said Tess sensing that Zoe was thinking about something
"Oh em nothing" said zoe smiling and standing up "I better get back to work"
Zoe left and Tess got up soon afterwards putting her cup in the sink, she was about to go until fletch spoke which stopped her.
"I'm sorry" said fletch
Tess spun around and looked at fletch, then a frustrated smile swept onto her face
"For what" she said
"For what I did to you" said fletch stepping forwards
Fletch walked until he was right in front of Tess who was now looking at the ground having realised what he had ment.
"The past is in the past" said Tess turning around to walk away
Before Tess had time to walk out of the staffroom fletch spoke again
"But it can't…" said fletch
Tess turned around at the staffroom door interrupting him
"Please fletch, just leave it" said Tess
Test walked out of the staffroom and to the nurse's station where Zoe was surprisingly standing
"U ok" said Zoe once she saw Tess
"Yes fine" said Tess going to grab patient's notes
"Tess, if something happened…" said Zoe
"Nothing happened" said Tess "and thank god"
"How can you even say that" said Zoe
Charlie walked over wanting to hear the latest drama
"Say what?" said Tess
"That your glad nothing happened" said Zoe
Fletch came over and stood beside Charlie as he was also interested, not in the drama unfolding but fletch was interested on whether it had anything to do with what's wrong with Tess.
"Yes I am glad nothing happened" said Tess raising her voice slightly "why wouldn't I be?"
